The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel. I broke something, Old Man. How badly is it broken? It's in a million little pieces. I'm afraid I can't help you. Why? There's nothing you can do. Why? It can't be fixed. Why? It's broken beyond repair. It's in a million little pieces.
Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.
Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?
...I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.
Stevo: I rest my case on this: In a country of lost souls rebellion comes hard. But in a religiously oppressive city, where half it's population isn't even of that religion, it comes like fire.
Algren: [narrating] They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seem such discipline. I am surprised to learn that the word Samurai means, 'to serve', and that Katsumoto believes his rebellion to be in the service of the Emperor.
Dominance. Control. These things the unjust seek most of all. And so it is the duty of the just to defy dominance and to challenge control.
Ah
Are we biology or God or something higher? I know my heart beats and I listen to it. The beat is biology, but what is the song?
Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?
I am often described to my irritation as a 'contrarian' and even had the title inflicted on me by the publisher of one of my early books. (At least on that occasion I lived up to the title by ridiculing the word in my introduction to the book's first chapter.) It is actually a pity that our culture doesn't have a good vernacular word for an oppositionist or even for someone who tries to do his own thinking: the word 'dissident' can't be self-conferred because it is really a title of honor that has to be won or earned, while terms like 'gadfly' or 'maverick' are somehow trivial and condescending as well as over-full of self-regard. And I've lost count of the number of memoirs by old comrades or ex-comrades that have titles like 'Against the Stream,' 'Against the Current,' 'Minority of One,' 'Breaking Ranks' and so forth
Sometimes I go to God and say,
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
The way I see it, when you put the uniform on, in effect you sign a contract. And you don't back out of a contract merely because you've changed your mind. You can still speak up for your principles, you can still argue against the ones you're being made to fight for, but in the end you do the job.
I used rebellion as a way to hide out. We use criticism as a fake participation.
You can best serve civilization by being against what usually passes for it.
It's our goddamed city! It's our goddamed country. No terrorist can take it from us for so long as we're free. Once we're not free, the terrorists win! Take it back! You're young enough and stupid enough not to know that you can't possibly win, so you're the only ones who can lead us to victory! Take it back!
You're beautiful to me because you're human. Your frailty. Your short years. Your heart. All that suddenly seems more precious than anything I've ever known.
Historical fact: people stopped being human in 1913. That was the year Henry Ford put his cars on rollers and made his workers adopt the speed of the assembly line. At first, workers rebelled. They quit in droves, unable to accustom their bodies to the new pace of the age. Since then, however, the adaptation has been passed down: we've all inherited it to some degree, so that we plug right into joysticks and remotes, to repetitive motions of a hundred kinds. But in 1922 it was still a new thing to be a machine.
Protest ist, wenn ich sage, das und das pa
Damned Beaver/Jeremy is the War, he is every assertion the fucking War has ever made--that we are meant for work and government, for austerity: and these shall take priority over love, dreams, the spirit, the senses and the other second-class trivia that are found among the idle and mindless hours of the day....Damn them, they are wrong. They are insane.
Nell did not imagine that Constable Moore wanted to get into a detailed discussion of recent events, so she changed the subject.
Without Revolutionary theory, there can be no Revolutionary Movement.
The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.
I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.
Awake, arise or be for ever fall
This is the land of Narnia,' said the Faun, 'where we are now; all that lies between the lamp-post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea.
Though the immediate impression of rebellion may obscure the fact, the task of authentic literature is nevertheless only conceivable in terms of a desire for fundamental communication with the reader.
No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.
I shouldn't think even millionaires could eat anything nicer than new bread and real butter and honey for tea.
A little rebellion is a good thing.
Humans have evolved to their relatively high state by retaining the immature characteristics of their ancestors. Humans are the most advanced of mammals
He'll be coming and going
Ned: I figured it was time for a picnic by the menagerie. Jenny: And you brought me? Why not take the woman you're marrying? Ned: She's grown up with the Duke of Ware. Lions seem less ferocious.
